Arcade Mode

In the year 2XXX, the Xiliens have declared war on Earth for the second time and now have more monsters than before. The commander tells Earth to either surrender or be destroyed. The intro then goes on to either:

Say that the player's monster broke free from the Antarctic and the fate of Earth now lies in its hands. (Earth Defenders only)

Say that Earth had no intentions of surrendering, knowing that they have defended Earth against Aliens in the past, and send the player's monster to defend Earth. (GDF only)

Say that conquering Earth was hard for the Xiliens in the past, but the player's monster shows promise to achieve victory. They will test this monster and then send it to Earth to take over the planet. (Aliens only)

Later, the player's monster either attacks (Earth Defenders or GDF) or defends (Aliens) the Xillien's Earth Base in World Children's Land. After the player wins, the Xilliens either send the player's monster to Planet X to face their trump card (Earth Defenders or GDF) or send them to fight Godzilla in Tokyo (Aliens). The ending tells us that the player's monster saved the Earth (Earth Defenders or GDF) or took over the Earth for the Xilliens (Aliens).

Battle Mode

Battle Mode is where 1 or 2 players can choose two monsters and battle against each other. The stats for Physical Attacks, Special Attacks, and Power Regeneration can be modified, with the default being 3, 1 being the lowest, and 5 being the highest.

Monsters

The game has a total of 68 monsters (Counting the different versions and transformations), all of which are playable, although most have to be unlocked. In addition, some monsters can transform into different ones, either at will at the cost of some energy, or after a certain amount of life has been depleted and with enough energy. The playable characters are:

Movesets

Stages

All Earth Stages have a Day, Noon and Night option in Battle Mode, Planet X is a standalone stage with no options and the NES Wilderness Stage has many customizable options including terrain color options (Red, Yellow, and Blue) and 3 "Moon" options (2 Moons (one blue large one and one yellow Small One), 1 big moon in the middle of the sky (Red) and 1 big moon to the right of the sky (looks similar to Jupiter).

Mechanics

There are certain mechanics to the gameplay that will usually change the death of an enemy monster.

If Godzilla 1954 is killed in battle, he will emit the death cry that he made in the original film before falling onto his back.

If Mothra Larva is killed by a beam, an adult Mothra will fly in and attack the player. This ONLY works in Arcade Mode.

Minya has different animations for each of his roars. If you defeat Gabara, the victory screen will show Minya dancing and shouting "Yayayaya!". Also, if you defeat Kumonga, the victory screen will show Minya dancing and shouting "How do you like that, weirdo?!". If he is defeated in battle, he will run away.

If King Ghidorah 1991 is killed, he will fall on his back and roar. If he is hit by a beam attack during this, his middle head will fly off.

If M.O.G.U.E.R.A. is killed with a beam attack, it will charge at the enemy and explode on contact. If it is defeated by a melee attack, it's right arm will be blown off while M.O.G.U.E.R.A collapses.

Godzilla 2002's victory animation has him getting struck by lightning, much like how he does during his intro at the start of Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla. Additionally, when being defeated, Godzilla roars, slumps forward, and collapses.

If Gezora is killed in battle, he slumps forward and collapses, with Yog retreating from his body, much like how he does in his film appearance.

If Godzilla 2014 is defeated in battle, he leans forward and breathes heavily, then collapses face-forward onto the ground, much like he did in his film appearance after defeating the female M.U.T.O.

If M.U.T.O. (Female) is defeated, she will lean forward for a second and then collapse forward. However, if she is hit by a beam attack during this brief second, her head will fall off, much like how she was killed by Godzilla's "Kiss of Death" in Godzilla (2014).

If Biollante is defeated, she will break apart into energy spores like she did after both battles in Godzilla vs. Biollante. If Biollante is defeated on the Lake Ashinoko stage, roses will bloom all over the shores of the lake, referencing a deleted scene from the film.

Alternate Costumes

By pressing "Shift," alternate costumes can be selected. However this only works for a few monsters.

Rodan 1956's alternate costume is a light brown stripe running down its back, to differentiate between the two Rodan designs that appear in their debut film.

Godzilla 2002's alternate costume is his 2003 incarnation, including his battle scar from when he was injured by Kiryu's Absolute Zero Cannon. Additionally, both incarnations possess different atomic breath charging animations.

Female M.U.T.O.'s alternate costume is her appearance when she is pregnant. She carries around her egg sac on her chest.

Trivia

Once the arcade mode is completed while playing as Godzilla 1954, the end message reads "In the end, the people of Planet X could not defeat the monster. They had no choice but to return it to Earth and admit defeat. The Earth, and the entire galaxy, was safe once again thanks to Godzilla... or is it?" as a picture of Godzilla 1954 pops up over the Earth.

Several characters who were originally a part of the game from the start have received revamps over time:

Battra was originally a part of the game when it was fully released, but only in his imago form. However on Halloween 2014, his character was completely revamped, with a new character model and set of attacks, as well as his larva form as a playable character.

Gorosaurus was originally a part of the game when it was fully released. However on Christmas 2015, his character was completely revamped, with a new character model, a new roar (based on his roar in his appearance in Destroy All Monsters), and a new set of attacks.

Rodan was originally a part of the game when it was fully released, but only in his 2004 incarnation. However on April 28, 2016, his character was completely revamped, with a new character model and set of attacks, as well as threemore incarnations joining him.

In celebration of Godzilla's 60th anniversary, on November 3rd, 2014, when the game is beaten in arcade mode, a slideshow of screenshots recreating each of the films' most iconic moments is shown with the intro music from Godzilla: Final Wars playing. At the end of the slideshow, an outline of Godzilla 2014 is shown and his roar can be heard.

On July 4, 2015, a brief slide was added to the end of the slideshow showing Godzilla 2014 facing off against the female M.U.T.O.
